Abstract (en)
[origin: WO02086735A1] An automatic camera image transmittal system and method permits the safe, efficient and secure transmission of digital images (1012A) to a wireless network (1011) where they are archived and retrieved by authorized parties (1018). Initially the image is compressed and transmitted to the wireless network (1011) with a unique identifier, which authenticates the validity of the transmittal. The unique identifier includes a portion that is related to the specific camera used so that if the camera is stolen, the network will not accept images from that camera in the future. Fractal geometry technology is used to reconstitute the images (1012A) and improve picture resolution. The network (1017) can track the images (1012A) via the unique camera serial numbers and the preferences set by the customer (1100) at the time the camera is purchased. Information such as payment, printing, storage, and other data regarding the customer preference as well as passwords are also stored in the system (1010). The system and method enables customers (1100) to safely and securely transmit, store and retrieve digital images (1012A) without running out of film or having to connect to a computer or data card (1014).
